| my 1.8 p11 2000 model starts and runs fine until after about 3 miles then cuts out and wont restart until its been left for about half an hour.. ive changed the coil packs but nothing has changed. could this be fuel related or is there another common fault that could be causing this.. its a petrol model.. thanks deano 501 |

Have you got the engine management light on?
Sounds more like faulty cam or crank sensor.

yes the light is on on the dash.. are the cam and crank sensors an easy diy fix or is it a trip to the garage. |

Both sensors are just plug and play.
Best getting a cheap diagnostic scanner which plugs into the diagnostic socket,it will tell you the fault code.Therefore no guessing.

The Bluetooth elm scanner works well for Android connectivity to get EML codes. ------------- Primera GT - SR20VE.N1 / Qashqai 1.5 N-Tec K9K / Pulsar 1.5 N-Tec K9K http://www.neovvl.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.neovvl.com |

You can run a self diagnostic to get the fault codes. You just need a thin piece of wire. Diagnostic port is below the fuse box to the right of the steering wheel. http://www.npoc.co.uk/forum/p11144-diagnostic-check-clear-and-codes_topic8946.html Or get an OBD2 Code reader. |

Its been said on here the sensors are the same. Possibly the wire length could be different but not sure. ------------- See my Nissan Primera P11-144 common faults and fixes guide: |

THANKS GUYS FOR YOUR HELP. CHANGED THE CAM SENSOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE FINE NOW... IS IT WORTH DOING THE CRANK SENSOR ASWELL JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE... DOES THE ENGINE LIGHT NEED RESETTING OR WILL IT GO OUT BY ITSELF? MANY THANKS ONCE AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP.. DEANO501

Good News. Not necessary to change the other sensor. If the fault is gone, the light will go out after a few days. Depends how often/much you drive it. |
